About me
I am a Full Professor of Computer Science at National University of Defense Technology. I received my Ph.D. degree from National University of Defense Technology in 2013. I was a Postdoc Researcher at ETH Zurich from Nov. 2016 to Nov. 2017, working with Professor Onur Mutlu.
My research interests
IC for Secure AI: With a focus on AI security, this area adopts technical approaches including AI compilation optimization, accelerator architecture design, and in - memory computing. Through software - hardware co - design, it aims to enhance the efficiency and security of AI systems.
AI for Secure IC: This involves leveraging AI technologies to improve the security of existing integrated circuits. It covers the full - chain security protection technologies throughout the chip design, manufacturing, and usage processes.
